Passes Senate
Special to the Evening Review.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 16.
The senate today adopted a resolu
tion introduced by Foraker. calling
upon the war department to produce
all Information regarding the employ
ment of detectives who shadowed the
supposed ringleaders in the riot of
negro soldiers at Brownsville, Texas,
on Aug. 14, 1906. and which result
ed In the dismissal by. President
Roosevelt of the members of three
companies on the grounds that they
had entered Into a "conspiracy of sil
ence" to protect their guilty com
rades. The latest disclosure In the
affair is the confession of Boyd Con
verse one of the discharged negroes,
which gives the entire details of the
riot and which was made public last
Saturday.
Prior to the passage of the Forak
er resolution, Senator Lodge, of Mas
sachusetts, defended the president's
action in the matter and arraigned -the
methods, proposed by Foraker,
whose bill, he declared, made re-en-llstment
obligatory under easily filled
conditions and which would be ruin
ous to army discipline. Lodge up
held the Warner bill, patterned after
Roosevelt's recommendations that the
discharged negro soldiers who would
tell the truth concerning the riot or
could prove that they knew nothing
about It be permitted to re-enllst.

WOULD HELP HERMANN.
Bill 111 Senate Rcncftts Indictees Who
Cannot Get a Trial..
WASHINGTON. D. C, Dec. IB.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, introduced
a bill requiring Federal courts, un
less a good cause to the contrary Is
shown, to dismiss Indictments against
persons who through no fault of their
own are unable to obtain a trial dur
ing the term of court following that
in which the indictment was returned
agnlnst them.
The bill further stipulates that
when a defendant objects to post
ponement or demands a trial, ground
for continuance on the part of the
government must be set forth In a
sworn statement and a copy served
upon the defendant five days before
the motion tor postponement Is to be
heard.
This bill Is aimed at what Senator
Borah regards, and what President
elect Taft believes, to be one of tho
greatest evils in our judicial system
the delays to bringing criminal
cases to trial.
This bill affects such cases as that
of ex-Congressman and Land Com
missioner Hermann, of Oregon, who
for three years has been under in
dictment In Oregon, but up to this
day has not been tried. Borah's bill
is not retroactive, but would, If pas
sed, guarantee Hermann a trial at
this term of court, or else result In
dismissing Indictments against him.
It would have the same effect on the
Williamson case and other land cases
long pending in Oregon.
MOKE SCHOOL GROUNDS.
Needed for Carrying on Work of the
Roseburg School District.
A special school meeting is to be
hold In the Roseburg district, No. 4,
on Dec. 30, to fix the annual tax levy
for school purposes for the coming
year.' Another important matter to
be discussed at this meeting is devis
ing means and authorizing the school
board to secure additional grounds
tor school purposes in this district.
As is generally known, two new ward
schools were established in temporary
quarters at the opening of the pres
ent school year. One of these- Is in
West Roseburg and the other in Riv
erside Addition. It is important that
permanent quarters be provided for
those schools and the first thing to
he done is to secure the necessary
grounds. The school board has un
der consideration a tract of ground
about 185x260 feet in dimensions in
West Roseburg, at the turn of the
road this side of the Soldiers' Home.
In Riverside Addition a tract of two
acres lying Just north of the home of
Louis Barzee Is under consideration.
The High School grounds are also too
small for the growing needs there and
four lots, with aggregate dimensions
of 80x216 feet can still bo secured,
lying to the south of the High School
building. Other available grounds
may also be offered or suggested for
these schools, and the school, board
desires a large . attendance at the
meeting on Dec. 30, so they may be
fully advised as to the wishes of the
citizens of the district on all these
matters. Provisions for erecting a
building during the coming year on
one of the sites chosen, may also be
considered.

I'KKSIDKM'IAL VOTE.
Itryan Ran Ahead of Parker Soelnl.

NEW YORK, Dec. If,. The total
popular vote of the presidential can
didates at the last national election
was made known today in an olllrlal
form by the filing of the last of the
official vote, that of Michigan. The
total shows the following votes cast:
Taft, Republican, 7. 637. 670.
Hrvan, Democrat, 6.393,182.
Debs. Socialist, 448.471.

This grand total exceeds by 1,341,-
531 the total number of votes cast in
the Presidential election of 1904,
when the grand total was 13.510.108.
Compared with that election, the
candidates of the republican and
democratic and Socialist parties In
creased their vote this year. The re
verse is true of the candidate of the
Prohibition, Populist and Socialist
L.abor parties. The Indetiendenre
party did not figure In the president

plurality over Hryan was 1.244,494,
ana nis plurality over an nvus was

The biggest difference In a party
vote Is shown in an Increase for llry

cast In 1904 for Alton II. Parker, the
democratic candidate. Taft received
14.190 more voti-a than were polled

Sent Message to Notorious Woman In
Portland.
OGDEN, Utah, Dec. 15. The mon
ey found In the wrapper of a Salt
.aae newspaper and secured at the
general delivery window at the post
office. It is reported, was positively
identilled this afternoon as some of
the bills taken from the East Side
bank In Portland at the time of the
robbery last week. The money was
found by Charles Price, who turned
the bills In to the department.
X t.k'W From Hosfhllrg.
Tuesday's Portland Journal glvos
the following details of tho chnse of
the bank robberB. one of whom Is nl-'
uged to have passed through Rose-'
burg, going south, one morning last
week. The Journal says: i
A cipher message sent from Rose
burg by a traveler on the California- I
bound train Wednesday morning to ,
a notorious woman in Portland, Is
believed by the Plnkertnns and by
Portland detectives to be the moBt
Important clue, locally, that has yet
been unearthed In tho East Side bank
robbery caBe. I
The message was sent by a man In '
a plaid can whose descrlntlon tits
accurately one of the robbers concern- 1
ed In I no bank affair. It was ad
dressed to a woman who Is said to i
be living here with an ex-convict and ;
bank robber. The message was deliv
ered to her by the Western Union
here.
Answers the Description.
According to Wright the mnn who
sent the message was 5 feet, 8 or 9
Inches tall, smooth shaven, woro a
durk suit of clothes and overcoat
and a plaid or checked golt cap. The
message he sent wns imrtly In cipher,
lie had a round face and black hair
and his actions were so peculiar as
to arouse the Interest and notice of
Wright. He apoke to the conductor
of No. 13 nbout the man nnd tho con
ductor stilled that the suspected man
had purchased a ticket from Port
land to Eugene and then one to Rose
burg. He boarded tho train again at
Roseburg, however, nnd purchased a
ticket for a point further down tho
line.
Tho telegram was token at tho
Roseburg olllce at 8:45 Wednesday
morning, but wns not sent out from
Roseburg until nearly 11 and did not
reach Roseburg till nearly noon.
The striking nature of tho evidence
from Roseburg, together with tho
discovery of $2400 In currency
wrapped up In a newspaper In tiio
Ogden puBtofllco Saturday convinced
tho detectives that their first theory
that the three men had left the city
and gone in radically different direc
tions is correct.
It la believed that one of tho rob
bers went directly north across Hie
Canadian border, a second took the
O., H.- & N. for Snlt Lake and tho
east and getting frightened. Bent the
currency either to himself or to a con
federato through the mallB and that
the third man left ror Cnllfoinln over
the Southern Paclllc Tuesday night
nnd stopped off to send the message
from Roseburg Wednesday morning.
The bringing of the Portland wo
man and her bank robber husbnnd In
to tho enso Is most Important. Tho
pair are being shndowed today and
will bo arrested If they attempt to
leave the city. It Is believed that
the larger part of tho gold and silver
taken from the bank has either been
left with them or has been hidden
somewhere within the city.
Tho Plnkertons have been working
In conjunction wllh the postolllco Inspectors-
hero since Sunday In at
tempting to estnbllsh the identity of
the money discovered In Ogden. The
stupidity of the Ogden postolllco au
thorities in not keeping thh discovery
of the money from the public until
the claimant could be captured Is be
ing generally lamented by the men nt
wcrk on tho case here.
The newspaper containing tho
money was a copy of a Salt Lake
publication and It was mailed from
Salt Lake to Charles Price, genera
delivery, Ogden, Utah. Charles
Price, a plnsterer, called for his mail
and this newspaper was handed him.
When he oiiened It. $2400 In cur
rency. Including two $5011, 14 $100
bills and 10 $10 bills fell out. lie
returned It to the clerk who was too
amazed to grasp the ImiKjrtaucc of
the discovery.
Later a man giving his name as
Charles Price called for his ninil. but
became suspicious and left before he
could be arrested. He Ih supposed
to have been tho bank robber who
left Portland over the O. R. & N.
That bungling way In which the
money was shipped from Halt Lake
to Ogden makes the detectives think
that the bank robbers were new at
the job. They otherwise would not
have trusted the money In a second
class mail package, especially during
the Christinas season when the mails
are particularly liable to he lost.
II. II. Newhall. president of the
East Side bank, denied this afternoon
that he had identified the two $500
bills found in Ogden package. He
said that he had heard nothing from
Ogden or the jHistofllce authorities
concerning the money.
Several clues are being followed by
the authorities and It Is barely pos
sible, althmgh not now thought
probable, that the mysterious strang
er will be Jailed before many hours
have passed.
The Charles Price who received
the money by mistake declared that
although he Is a poor man he is wil
ling and ready to give up the pur
reur.y If ownership can be established.

I Supreme Court us Interpreted.
PORTLAND, Or.. Dec. 15. United
States Attorney McCourt does not be
lievo the decision of tho United States
Supreme Court, hauded down by Jus
tlcs White, holding Hint indictments
could not be found on section 4746
in land matters becnuse the section
wns Intended to cover violations of
the pension lnwa. will bo the meniiB
of giving freedom to James H. Pnrk-
er, the Huker City hanker, and Albert
L. Ciisick. the Mcdford real estato
dealer, both of whom were indicted
and convicted under section 4746.
'J he doclslou of tho. United States
Supreme Court came right at the
heels of the conviction of Cuslck.
whose trial had been going on be
fore Judge Wolverton for a week.
The very point decided by Justice
V hlte In tho Colorado case was raised
by Attorney Jumps Colo during his
nrguinept on the dem.irrer ho Hied
in behnir of Cuslck. Attorney Cole
held that section 4746, prescribing a
penalty for perjury, wns Intended '.n
ly for i cnslon ciiscb and could not ap
p! to lund matters. Judgo Wolvei
tcii, after hearing arguments ou bo'h
sides, handed down a lengthy opinion,
overruling the demurrer and holding
that an indictment Tor perjury under
section 4746 was not necessarily con
fined to perjury in pension enses, but
could bo applied to perjury when It
came to making false affidavits or
BwonvliiK falsely to non-mlnernl affi
davits. In regard to lund matters.
United Stales Attorney McCourt Is
getting ready to fight for tho passing
of judgment upon Pinker and Cuslck.
He wrote yesterdny for a conv of Jus
tlce White's decision and mulled to
tho Attorney-General a copy of the
derision handed down by Judgo Wol
verton. There woro two other cases
pending, the defendants having been
Indicted under the section. Both of
these ciiscb had ulreiidy been dismis
sed upon the request of Attorney Mc
Court. Whether Justice White's de
cision will bo ub far-reaching as It
now nppears, remains to bo Been. A
great number of Indictments have
been brought under this section.
